Ezekijel 10

Study

   

1 Pogledah, i gle: na svodu nad glavama kreubinÄa pojavi se nešto kao kamen safir, kao nekakvo prijestolje.

2 I prozbori čovjeku odjevenom u lan: "Uđi među točkove pod kerubinima, uzmi pune pregršti žeravice između kerubina i prospi je nad gradom!" - I on na moje oči uđe među kerubine.

3 A kerubini stajahu s desne strane Doma kad čovjek uđe među njih. I oblak ispuni sve unutrašnje predvorje,

4 a Slava Jahvina vinu se s kerubinÄa prema pragu Doma. Dom se ispuni oblakom, a predvorje napuni svjetlost Slave Jahvine.

5 Huka kerubinskih krila razliježe se do vanjskoga predvorja, kao kad zagrmi glas Svevišnjega.

6 A kad on zapovjedi čovjeku odjevenom u lan: "Uzmi ognja između točkova što su pod kerubinima", čovjek uđe i stade kraj točkova.

7 Jedan kerubin pruži ruku prema ognju što bijaše među kerubinima, uze ga i stavi u ruke čovjeku odjevenom u lan. On ga primi i iziđe.

8 A ispod kerubinskih krila ukaza se nešto kao ruka čovječja.

9 Pogledah, i gle: uz kerubine četiri točka, po jedan uza svakoga. A točkovi bijahu nalik na kamen krizolit;

10 sva četiri istog oblika i kao da je jedan točak u drugome.

11 U kretanju mogahu ići u sva četiri smjera, sve bez zakretanja. Kamo bi se glava usmjerila, onamo bi krenuli, a da se, krećući se, nisu morali okretati.

12 Cijelo tijelo u kerubinÄa - leđa, ruke, krila i sva četiri točka njihova - sve im bijaše posvud naokolo puno očiju.

13 A točkovi, koliko sam čuo, zvahu se "Kovitlac".

14 Svaki imaše po četiri lica: lice prvoga kerubinsko, lice drugoga čovječje, a u trećega lice lavlje, u četvrtoga orlovsko.

15 Tada se kerubini podigoše u visine. Bijahu to ista bića što ih vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru.

16 Kad bi kerubini krenuli, krenuli bi i točkovi uz njih, kad bi kerubini krilima mahnuli da se od zemlje podignu, točkovi se ne bi od njih odmicali.

17 Kad bi se zaustavili, i točkovi bi stali; a kad bi se sa zemlje podigli, i točkovi se podizahu, jer duh bića bijaše u njima.

18 Uto se Slava Jahvina vinu s praga Doma i stade nad kerubinima.

19 Tada kerubini raširiše krila i podigoše se sa zemlje pred mojim očima. A kad oni krenuše, i točkovi za njima krenuše. I zaustaviše se nad istočnim vratima Doma Jahvina, a Slava Boga Izraelova bijaše nad njima.

20 Bijahu to ista bića što ih vidjeh pred Bogom Izraelovim na rijeci Kebaru. I tako spoznah da ono bijahu kerubini.

21 U svakoga po četiri lica i po četiri krila, a pod krilima nešto kao ruka čovječja.

22 Lica im ista kao ona što ih vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru. I svako se naprijed kretaše.

39. The Lord is called the God of Israel and the God of Jacob. This is apparent from the following:

Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has made with you....” ...and they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of sapphire stone, and it was like the essence of heaven.... (Exodus 24:8-10)

...the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking..., the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He visited and brought deliverance to His people (Israel), when He raised up a horn of our salvation in the house of David.... (Luke 1:68-69)

I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)

...O house of Jacob..., who swear by the name of Jehovah and...of the God of Israel.... For they are called from the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel, Jehovah of Hosts His name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)

...(Jacob) will see his children..., in his midst they will hallow My name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)

...at the end of days...many people shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about His ways, that we may walk in His paths.” (Isaiah 2:2-3, Micah 4:1-2)

...that all flesh may know that I am Jehovah, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)

...I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)

Give birth, O earth, in the presence of the Lord, in the presence of the God of Jacob.... (Psalms 114:7)

(David) swore to Jehovah, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: “I will not go into the shelter of my house...until I find a place for Jehovah, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ...we heard of it in Ephrathah (Bethlehem). (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)

Blessed be...the God of Israel.... The whole earth will be filled with His glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)

And so on elsewhere where the Lord is called the God of Israel, its Redeemer and Savior, as for example in Luke 1:47, Isaiah 45:15, 54:5, and Psalms 78:35.

In many other places, too, where He is called simply the God of Israel, as in Isaiah 17:6, 21:10, 17, 24:15, 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3, 9:15, 11:3, 13:12, 16:9, 19:3, 15, 23:2, 24:5, 25:15, 27, 29:4, 8, 21, 25, 30:2, 31:23, 32:14-15, 36, 33:4, 34:2, 13, 35:13, 17-19, 37:7, 38:17, 39:16, 42:9, 15, 18, 43:10, 44:2, 7, 11, 25, 48:1, 50:18, 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4, 9:3, 10:19-20, 11:22, 43:2, 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13, 59:5, 68:8.
